Shadowrunner 2.0

Thursday, April 21st, 2005

Shadowrunner 2 beta 2 is out. Same link as before. Added a header (I suggest you leave it off, but whatever floats your boat) and also changed the colour of the links in status messages to match better. I’ll probably stick this on Adium X(tras) in a few days time. Enjoy…

Well, things are shaping up. Customisation includes a new header, rearranged sidebars and pages, and rewording of everything that felt American. Ugh.
Oh… and smilies

Huh?

Nothing to see here, folks. You must have blundered here by accident.
This is a site in progress, soon to be the new home of Andy Allcorn, maker of Adium X(tras) and general dosser.
Current progress: WordPress is installed, and I’m finding my way around.
